In a nutshell
So much more than Mozart - I love it!
100 Reviews Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart lived in this house from 1773-1778. His father died here on 28 May 1787. The museum displays original works by Mozart and items and furniture belonging to the Mozart family from the time they were living here. There are also exhibits displaying musical instruments belonging...
201 Reviews The Hohensalzburg Fortress, the chief landmark of Mozart's city, is the largest completely preserved fortress in central Europe. It was built in 1077, enlarged in 1500 and completed in 1681. It has the oldest organ in the world still in working condition. The fortress dominates the skyline and is...
41 Reviews I have been to Cafe Mozart for lunch. The food was excellent, Mozart Cafe was delicious and before I knew it, I can't order Salzburger Nockerl anymore because I was so full. Of course I returned the next day and had it then. Was soooo good! Cafe Mozart has daily menu to offer. One does not have to...
20 Reviews This is a wonderful beer garden set behind the Augustine Church (17th Century) and its adjacent brewery. You will find all kinds of folk here: students, tourists and locals celebrating birhtdays or other special events. We even saw one group that brought their own band. It is a huge place that seats...
10 Reviews We went to Murphy's Law when we just needed to speak English. It was definitely still different than home, but in the middle of a six week German course, it still had a bit of familiarity. The bartender's are talkative and nice but remember Guinness should NOT be mixed! No black and tans or the...
23 Reviews Salzburg's Hauptbahnhof, or main train station, is located about a 15-minute walk from the Old Town. It is on the main line from Munich to Vienna, and is reachable via "RailJet," ICE, and EuroCity Trains from many different destinations, including Zürich, Budapest, Frankfurt, and Cologne. An...
11 Reviews During a visit to Salzburg in December 2010, my girlfriend and I took the opportunity to purchase pieces of Original Sachertorte from the cake shop adjoined to the city's Hotel Sacher. This internationally famous chocolate cake is only produced in Vienna (from where it first originated) and in...
10 Reviews In Salzburg the people are very polite and all the people that I met spoke English (although some fluently, others only a bit). However, I think that when visiting another country you should try a few words in their language. So here are some basics in German: Hello/Hi - Guten Tag/Hallo Goodbye/Bye...
7 Reviews Thanks to Virtual Tourist we were fore warned about the Police. We got pulled on a late Sunday afternoon for a routine check, namely to check that we'd got the Vingette on our screen. You can purchase these easily on the border and in some garages, but whatever you do don't go to Austria without one...
4 Reviews Although Salzburg IS a very safe city that you can feel safe walking around in anytime, I had a habit of being approached by beggars. Outside the Mozart Residence I was approached for money by a man and when I was returning from the Old City and the pedestrian bridge across the street from the...
13 Reviews I did a Panorama Sound of Music tour not because of any interest in the film (I've never even seen it, though I've heard the songs, of course), but because I was in Salzburg for less than a day and it seemed a convenient way of seeing some of the sights of the city and the surrounding countryside....
7 Reviews Definitely pack warm. We were there in mid September and I don't think we ever slid out of our jackets. I will admit we are sun loving Australians but it was cold and overcast most of the time. We didn't experience rain but I would say judging by the gorgeous gardens it is a regular occurence. Of...
22 Reviews There are several mountains around Salzburg from where you can have a view, but Kapuzinerberg is the less visited. With 636m it is also the highest of the mountains. It is located north of the Salzach. There is no cable car but you need to walk up through a beech forest. It is a very nice walk...
6 Reviews If you are at all interested in Beer and how its made get yourself along to the Steigl Brauwelt Brewery. Its near the centre of Salzburg - just catch the no.1 Line bus and get out at the Brauhausstrasse stop. Ask the bus driver to let you know which one it is- ours was very helpful.When you get off...
3 Reviews There are several companies offering different kinds of extreme sport in Salzburg. We went rafting with a company called "Crocodile Sports". We were picked up by a van at our hostel before driving about 1 1/2 hour to reach our starting point. We had never done rafting before, and it was so much fun!...
16 Reviews As with all these tourist cards, you need to do your homework to see if it's viable to buy or not. I did this, and for us, it was, so we bought ours from our Pension, and began using it straight away, as we caught a Bus into the city centre. The card provided FREE ADMISSION to all the Museums, the...
